Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013010796A1] The invention relates to a method for operating a switching hump yard (10). At least one value for an entry speed into a first retarder (70) is ascertained for the respective cuts (100, 101) in the form of rolling cars or car groups for the first retarder (70) on the basis of a target release speed from the first retarder (70). At least one value for a release speed from a second retarder (60) that lies uphill relative to the first retarder (70) is determined for the second retarder (60) on the basis of the ascertained at least one value for the entry speed into the first retarder (70). The second retarder (60) is controlled taking into account the determined at least one value for the release speed. The invention further relates to a control device (200, 220, 230) for a switching hump yard (10).
